Waterproof jersey?

[PaulSB]

Realistically I'm only going to be riding in the rain on Saturday club rides, when I go solo I try whenever possible to only ride in the dry!
The club rides are slow paced but tend to be hilly - 1000ft per 10miles which in my book is hilly so even when on an easy ride, climbing is still hard so getting sweaty in a rain jacket is likely.
The Galibier is very competitvely priced so for the amount of use it would get that appears so far to be the one to get. Spending £250+ on the latest and greatest seems a bit excessive for my needs.

If you do decide to spend £200+ I can highly recommend this jacket. I used to l
look like the Michelin Man in all my winter layers. Today I ride in this jacket plus a base layer. I have three different base layers which I choose from based on temperature.

Shakedry were discontinued a couple of years ago due to enviromental concerns apparently.

You can still get them.

After years of long distance riding in all weathers. Here is my take.

You can wear a trawlermans fishing suit and the rain will not get in from the outside. But you will sweat.

The secret is to be warm and damp.

And wellies I hope.

There is only one manufacturer (that I know of) that currently makes a "shakedry" jacket. To clarify this is where the "membrane" is on the OUTSIDE of the jacket, not sandwiched between layers and protected by a DWR (water repellant) coating. These jackets do not wet-out as the rain water remains on the outside and they do not need a DWR coating.

Absolutely NOT! They fill up with rainwater that runs down your legs ... horrible
